I think that is the question, and the answer is probably somebody sitting down and subjectively deleting “fluff”. I’d not like to have everyone edit their own simply because some might think all their verbiage should remain and people like <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Del</st1:State></st1:place>, Ron, Fred, etc. might delete stuff they consider fluff when to me it’s not.
